Let x and y represent the smaller and larger numbers, respectively.
y - x = 5 . . . . . the difference is 5
3y = 4x + 6 . . 3 times the larger is 4 times the smaller plus 6
Add x to the first equation to get an expression for y.
y = x + 5
Use that in the second equation.
3(x + 5) = 4x + 6
3x + 15 = 4x + 6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
9 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -3x-6
y = x+5 = 14
smaller number: 9
larger number: 14
Answer:
A government by the people
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: y-2=1/4(x-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for point-slope is y-y₁=m(x-x₁). Since we are given the slope m, we can fill that in. We are also given the point (x₁,y₁). We can also fill that in.
y-2=1/4(x-1)
